Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

He is risen, He is risen Indeed!
Went to a great church service then had brunch with my parents and brother and his family.
2.5 miles in the late afternoon with Moxie and while the kids biked just to enjoy the wonderful weather and family time. Ran after playing in the backyard and making drawings on the driveway. |

I slept in and went out on a beautiful day at lunch...sunny, light breeze, 58 degrees. I ran with no shirt to get some sun (and to scare the locals with my white skin tone!).
7.5 miles total in 48 minutes (6:24 avg). 10K in 38:45 (6:15 avg) with the last 0.3 miles slower due to a debilitating stitch in my side...ouch. Last 1.3 mile easy cooldown around the park. (Cortana)
Had to stop once for a pit stop, otherwise a mostly comfortable run. Last hard run before Boston, all easy from here on!
The Boston Teams are posted!

6.5 miles at 6:45 pace on a beautiful and warm day at lunch. Sunny, 68 degrees and a light breeze...nice! Just a good taper week run.
Getting excited for the trip! Have some fun family plans as well as fun friend activities and a few get togethers with Saucony and PowerBar folks. |

4 easy untimed miles with Moxie early on a warm morning (41 degrees). A nice morning for a taper week run. Feeling pretty good.
A good new fun option/dilemma for Boston. My brother secured us seats at the Red Sox game on Wednesday night (great seats on third base line near home plate at ground level!). But we are scheduled to check out of our hotel and go to Plymouth that afternoon and the downtown hotel rooms are still expensive that night! So, trying to figure out a way to make it work...probably check out, get our rental car, park at the hotel (or delay getting the car if possible), go to the game, drive to Plymouth that night (only about 40 minutes away...a doable drive later in the evening, especially with our GPS in hand). Either way, another good thing for the family on our trip! |

Plane ride was good yesterday and we got on the T and to the hotel (nice, great location right off Hereford St, about 0.2M from the finishline!) with no problems. We checked in, grabbed a bite to eat (starving kids!) and found the Whole Foods to stock up on some breakfast and gluten free stuff for our daughter.
What a great morning for a run...sunny, about 45 degrees! Ran from the hotel down Mass Ave and across the bridge to the other side of the Charles River. I stopped by MIT, ran along the river and back over the bridge near Cambridge. Ran along the river back to Mass Ave then onto Commonwealth, turned on Hereford then down Boylston to the finishline (starting to see up for th race, still hadn't painted the new finish line yet). Took a picture from a runner from Japan, then ran to the hotel. Lots of runner out everywhere, I saw several of the elite Kenyan women and men on the river path...of course they didn't recognize me!
5 miles in about 39 minutes. Great start to the day. Now off to the expo later, hooking up with friends and dinner with the Saucony Hurricanes!
Had a great day...met a VP for Saucony (Fred Doyle) on the T and talked the whole way to the expo. Saw the PowerBar folks (Dave, Drew, Chad) and listened to Desiree Davila, Time DeBoom and Josh Cox give a talk. Met Jess at Saucony. Ran into all the gang wandering around. The kids last about 2 hours before we were all on overload. So we left, ate lunch at Flour Bakery and took them to the Boston Children's Museum.
For dinner met the Saucony Hurricane's for dinner at Pasta Beach on the Rowe's Wharf. Met lots of good people (Carrie and Shawn with Saucony) and several athletes (Neil, Matt, Matt, Kelly, Nick) most of which will be running around the same time goals. So between the FRB and Saucony folks we could have a big crew! |
